Picflick - tiny cinema

Description

I was inspired by the idea of a living photo, something that felt like a video but was as easy to view and share as a normal still photo.

Picflick is the simple solution I came up with. It's easy to create and view photos like this in the app, and you can create your own .gifs in seconds. Look back on your memories and see things as they happened.

Create animated GIFs using your device's camera, or pick from photos you already have in your albums.

GIFs are created on the device; email them to yourself or connect to iTunes and save them to your computer. Nothing's locked up within the app, you can keep the .gifs stored with your other files if you want.

Publish your creation to the picflick site and share the link in seconds; no fees, no accounts, no sign-ups. If you want to share on Tumblr, Twitter, or Facebook, you can do that too.

Tap a photo in the listing to preview it. You can zoom in while watching.

Tap the viewfinder rapidly to capture live action or turn on the overlay to align your shots with precision (you can add a sense of depth to your photos by doing this).

Capture the bustle of the city. Create your own stop motion features. Try your hand at clay-mation. Steady your camera and capture subtle movements such as a flag blowing in the wind. Align your shots to create 3D gifs.
